Dear BAIPA members,
The American Library Association Annual Conference and Exhibition will be held at Moscone Center in San Francisco on June 25 through 30. In recent years, 17,000-26,000 librarians, publishers, educators, and others in the book industry have participated in these conferences as attendees and exhibitors. Tickets are available at member and non-member rates for the entire conference, individual sessions, and exhibit hall passes. For more information, visit their website at alaac15.ala.org
Any BAIPA members who have attended this conference in the past and have tips for how indie publishers and authors can make the most of the experience, please share in the comments area below.

One of my favorite things about BAIPA is its culture of generosity, the willingness — even eagerness — to share what we have each learned in the process of bringing stories to life. We provide educational programs, networking, marketing opportunities, encouragement, and information on industry vendors and services. And lots of one-on-one advice and mentoring.
We welcome all who have an interest in making connections within the world of independent publishing and learning more about how to publish and sell their work successfully. Together we are raising the standard of independent publishing and helping our members thrive.
Do join us!
—Becky Parker Geist, BAIPA Board of Directors, President
